Team UnScreen

We’re a local movement making an impactful shift against phone-based childhoods.

We believe together we must redirect our kids’ attention from looking down at their phones to gazing up towards their futures.

Happy JUNE! 🌈 Please enjoy this month’s TU Captain Spotlight: Dava ⚡️🤩✨

Dava is the incredible leader steering the ship as a captain at South Mountain Elementary! 🏔️👋

If you know her, you know she brings a strategic vision AND killer sense of comedic timing to every conversation. But behind the laughs is a focused, steady drive toward our mission and a selfless dedication the team truly relies on. She’s funny, she’s fierce, she’s the best of the best. We are so lucky to have her on the Team!

Drop some 🤍 in the comments to show Dava Krause some love!

2️⃣5️⃣📈WE DID IT! 25% AND COUNTING… 🎉

We set a big goal for this school year, and thanks to this incredible community, we officially reached it: 26% (!!!) of our community has signed the Wait Until 8th pledge!

What does that actually mean? It means 1 in 4 kids across our two towns doesn’t have to feel like the “outlier” for waiting to get a smartphone.

By banding together, we are completely shifting the culture of our shared spaces—our playgrounds, playdates, and neighborhoods. More looking up, more real-world connection, and less screen pressure.

We are nowhere near done, but for now, we are toasting to this milestone and saying a massive THANK YOU to everyone who has signed, shared, and supported us. 💛

👉 Let’s keep the momentum going! If you haven’t joined us yet, hit the link in our bio to take the pledge.

It takes a village. 🤝
Building a community focused on digital wellness starts with a shared commitment. We are incredibly close to having 1 in 4 families in our district signed onto the Wait Until 8th pledge!

Reaching 25% means our kids will have a massive peer group focused on play, sleep, and face-to-face friendship rather than screens.

Check to see where your specific school stands and help us reach the district-wide goal!

⚡️This is what community-driven change looks like.⚡️

Yesterday’s announcement from the South Orange–Maplewood School District marks a major step toward a healthier, more balanced relationship with technology in our schools — including expanded smartphone restrictions, limits on YouTube and open internet access for younger students, stronger parental controls, and a phased move away from 1:1 take-home devices in grades K–8.

These shifts didn’t happen overnight. They happened because parents, educators, students, volunteers, researchers, and advocates kept showing up, asking thoughtful questions, sharing research, organizing conversations, and pushing for policies that put children’s well-being first.

We’re incredibly proud of the role Team Unscreen and THIS amazing community have played in helping move the conversation forward. This is not about rejecting technology — it’s about creating balance, protecting childhood, supporting mental health, and building learning environments centered on human connection.

Grateful to everyone who has lent their voice, time, expertise, and energy to this movement. This is meaningful progress — and an important reminder that collective advocacy matters. 💛
